  • 1 min read

"Designing Manish's Dubai store was not just about creating spaces; it's about crafting memories and breathing life into the very essence of our shared passion for design and fashion." Gauri Khan's communiqué



Manish Malhotra states, "Gauri and I previously collaborated on the design of my home, which embodies calm and warmth. I wanted to bring the same serenity into my store so that every customer feels as if they are welcomed into my home."

Gauri Khan partnered with designer Manish Malhotra to create the interiors of his store and brings her thoughts on the process.

The 5000-square-foot ivory wonder unfolds as a tranquilly palace, presenting "The India Story." The store reflects our country's rich culture while also showcasing its ever-evolving modernity. "In the store, every element whispers the story of Manish, his design aesthetics...seamlessly weaving his logo into the very fabric of the space," Gauri Khan explained. The emblem becomes an intrinsic element of the design narrative, transforming the store into a living manifestation of the brand's soul."

Later this year, at a special event at Madame Tussauds Dubai, the six-time Filmfare Award winner, three-time Nandi Award winner, and most recently National Award winner—the first Telugu actor to receive this honor in 69 years—will reveal his wax figure and mingle with his likeness in person.

Allu Arjun's communiqué on getting the news that he had been selected for a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Dubai, “I visited Madame Tussauds in Los Angeles and was blown away by the experience! I can’t believe that now I’ll have a wax figure, I never would have believed it!”

Sanaz Kollsrud, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Dubai said,” Allu Arjun is without a doubt the biggest actor from the south of India. What better way to mark his incredible success than by giving the fans what they want – his first-ever wax figure! Our artists have been working with Allu on his likeness and we can’t wait to unveil the figure later this year!”

Andre Timmins, Director of IIFA (International Film Academy) said, “IIFA as a brand is all about taking Indian Cinema to the world and we are so proud of the addition to this journey we have shared with Madame Tussauds to bring the Indian Cinema stars closer to the fans. As we embark on getting ready to relaunch IIFA Utsavam – A celebration of South Indian Cinema, it is exciting to have one of the biggest and most respected Superstars of the millennium from this industry Allu Arjun, deservedly be the forthcoming star addition to Madame Tussauds Dubai.

The 'King of Dance' is a famed Indian actor who is from the country's southern region. An iconic red jacket worn by him in the memorable boardroom dance scene of his film 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' will be displayed on his figure. Allu Arjun, who has won over millions of admirers worldwide with his electrifying performances and unmatched dance skills, is the ideal addition to the renowned Madame Tussauds Museum.

In Dubai earlier this year, a "sitting," or meeting between the celebrity and the artists at Madame Tussauds, took place. As part of the customary, meticulous process required to construct one of the incredible wax figurines, more than 200 measurements were recorded.

The statue will be positioned in the stunning and engaging Bollywood Zone inside the tourist destination on Bluewaters.
